Laundry List of Unknown Spiders...

[Eric_Lander]

I have found the following spiders indexing (or at least visiting...) a number of my managed sites. Does anyone know where they come from?

ia_archiver
Zyborg 1.0
PolyBot 1.0
MLLXPC
Mercator-2.0
LinkWalker
WebSauger
Teoma (A new SE ready to debut?)
dllbot
architextSpider
OpenFind.Shark
Mc_Kalyan_21
ru_robot

Do a Site Search [searchengineworld.com]. There is info on this web site for most (if not all) the spiders on your list.

Most of these are listed on the webbots page I maintain at
[jafsoft.com...]

That page lags behind the discussions here (I only just found this forum), but most of the ones you list are familiar to me
